While the one side has been treated to death, I know of very few athiests who are educated on religious philosophy.

The notion of the world being older than the bible states is purely a Christian perspective, and hardly answers for the deities in various other cultures. In Judaism and its mystic practices the scale of years is wholly morphic in accordance to the time-frame of the the deity. Sacred text makes no distinction between what mode of calendar is being used.

The Stoic notion of the deity and Einstein's perspective mesh quite neatly (http://books.google.com/books?id=F7lMoretG8EC&pg=PA312#v...; see final paragraph forward).

More clearly:

"The main objective of Stoics is to overcome the dualism between mind and matter taught by other philosophical schools. The Stoics achieve this goal by identifying mind and matter with each other and with God. They therefore propose a totally unitary reality, a monism in which God is mind, God is matter, God is the universe. One may speak of mind and matter, but this is merely a façon de parler. For the Stoics, everything that acts is a body. There is a continuum between mind and body. They are completely translatable into one another; they are simply two ways of viewing the content in the continuum. In Stoic physics, matter is not 'dead' matter in the Cartesian sense; it is dynamic, charged with vital force. Mind is not something external to matter, an abstract ideal quality, a principle of rest toward which an imperfect material world transpires; it is rather an active principle, the creative force permeating the universe and holding it together. God is called by several names in Stoic physics—the 'logos', the rational structure of the universe; 'pneuma', the fiery breath of life, the creative fire; or 'tonos', the vital tension holding each thing together within itself and making the whole universe cohere. The entire universe, or God, constitutes one living organism, at the same time sentient, rational, and material, existing in and of itself. The universe is its own creative force and its own source of growth, change, and activity. God, or the universe, is not only its own cause; it is the one cause and explanation of all things."

From this perspective and further careful research, I find conclusions of the existence of a deity that works in conjunction with the assertions of science to be a viable possibility.
